The year 2017 saw an increase in the number of Minnesotans getting outdoors and enjoying the state's abundant natural resources, according to the Department of Natural Resources. The DNR opened two new state campgrounds, added new resources to combat aquatic invasive species, connected more Minnesotans to information about the state's natural resources, and engaged Minnesotans in the decision-making process on how to best plan for the future of the state's natural resources.
